Flights to Panex, Ollon from NT$4,693

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Panex could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Panex in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
