Flights to Erimi, Cyprus from NT$39,160

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Erimi could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

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 option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Erimi, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
