Flights to Lawrence Tavern, Saint Andrew from NT$15,576

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Lawrence Tavern vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lawrence Tavern in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
