Flights to Nisi, Aegina from NT$2,999

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Nisi escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Nisi, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
