Flights to Legan, Hamweddel from NT$24,265

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Legan.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Legan in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to 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, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
