Flights to Pont Rean, Guichen from NT$13,044

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your time in Pont Rean. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Pont Rean easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, 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 good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
