Flights to Keaton Beach, Perry from NT$15,004

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your vacation in Keaton Beach. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Keaton Beach, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
