Flights to Haiku, Hawaii from NT$7,546

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your time in Haiku. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Haiku, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
