Flights to Ozein, Aymavilles from NT$19,767

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Ozein.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

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, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Ozein easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
