Flights to Pratigi, Cairu from NT$7,941

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Pratigi escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pratigi in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
