Flights to Jaww, Southern Governorate from NT$19,238

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Jaww could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Jaww a pleasure. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
