Flights to Imlil, Asni from NT$1,819

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Imlil vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Imlil in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
