Flights to Palikir, Pohnpei from NT$49,076

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Palikir in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Palikir easy and painless. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
