Flights to Coustellet, Maubec from NT$4,277

If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Coustellet. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Coustellet, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
