Flights to Murchas, Lecrin from NT$4,218

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Murchas. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, 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:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Murchas before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
