Flights to Mogon, Villacarrillo from NT$4,870

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

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Mogon, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
