Flights to Punitz, Tobaj from NT$10,124

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Punitz could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Punitz in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
