Flights to Dog Town, Bridgeport from NT$11,424

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Dog Town escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

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 suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Dog Town easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
