Flights to Cowbridge, Cardiff from NT$34,361

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Cowbridge.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Cowbridge, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
