Flights to Genipabu, Extremoz from NT$40,654

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Genipabu. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Genipabu, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
