Flights to Purmela, Texas from NT$41,775

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Purmela escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Purmela a pleasure. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
