Flights to Milas, Muğla from NT$32,731

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Milas.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Milas before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
