Flights to Hankerton, Malmesbury from NT$3,920

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your vacation in Hankerton. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Hankerton in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring 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-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
