Flights to Manjoora, Vythiri from NT$38,059

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips that will get your Manjoora vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Manjoora, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
