Flights to Hardenville, Gainesville from NT$26,974

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Hardenville.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Hardenville in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
