Flights to Irosin, Bicol from NT$1,995

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Irosin could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Irosin in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, 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 electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
