Flights to Fahne, Ihlow from NT$8,518

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Fahne vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Fahne in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? 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 allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
