Flights to Ngwathe, Free State from NT$23,250

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ngwathe could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ngwathe in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
