Flights to Hopewell, Lavinia from NT$28,073

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Hopewell escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Hopewell, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
