Flights to Manning, Banks from NT$20,670

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Manning could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Manning a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
