Flights to Gan Rave, Central District from NT$28,226

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gan Rave could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Gan Rave, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
