Flights to Pavilion, New York from NT$6,865

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Pavilion vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Pavilion, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product 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-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
