Flights to Naalehu, Hawaii from NT$4,184

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Naalehu vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks can also help.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Naalehu a pleasure. Read through our top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, 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 the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
