Flights to Ebbw Vale, from NT$39,527

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Ebbw Vale. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ebbw Vale in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
