Flights to Golega, Santarém District from NT$8,624

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Golega could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Golega before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
