Flights to Greenwater, Enumclaw from NT$6,866

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Greenwater vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Greenwater a pleasure. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
