Flights to Nesfield, St. Lucy from NT$45,700

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your getaway in Nesfield.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

The secret is to be organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nesfield in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
