Flights to Leon, Culpeper from NT$7,932

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Leon escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Leon, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
