Flights to Keda, Adjara from NT$38,817

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Keda. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes 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. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Keda, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
