Flights to Djomani, Ngazidja from NT$92,609

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Djomani vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of 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.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Djomani in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
