Flights to Leisure Crest, Port Edward from NT$25,062

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Leisure Crest vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Leisure Crest in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a 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 baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
