Flights to Miharati, Nyandarua County from NT$16,942

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Miharati vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Miharati, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
