Flights to Choppins, Saint George from NT$8,898

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Choppins could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Choppins before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
