Flights to Fofoa, Vava'u from NT$50,874

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your vacation in Fofoa. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Fofoa, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
