Flights to Praesto Center, Praesto from NT$3,336

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Praesto Center could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Praesto Center easy and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
