Flights to Ein Shemer, Menashe from NT$6,358

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Ein Shemer.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover just in case you get cold. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Ein Shemer, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
