Flights to Lime Village, Alaska from NT$8,740

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Lime Village in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Lime Village a breeze. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
