Flights to Pelentri, Cyprus from NT$48,034

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Pelentri vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Pelentri a breeze. Here are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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 in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
