Flights to Dhigufinolhu, Kaafu Atoll from NT$9,274

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Dhigufinolhu vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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 beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Dhigufinolhu before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• 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 before you know it.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
