Flights to Jizan, Jizan Province from NT$46,003

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Jizan.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids 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 choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Jizan before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
