Flights to Chettisham, Ely from NT$2,145

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Chettisham.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Chettisham, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
