Flights to Paradise Beach, Eastern Cape from NT$40,419

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Paradise Beach.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Paradise Beach easy and painless. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
