Flights to Mambova, Southern from NT$25,732

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Mambova vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Mambova in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
