Flights to Nusa Dua, Bali from NT$2,422

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Nusa Dua vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave 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 Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and take a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Nusa Dua before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
