Flights to Ravensdale, Dundalk from NT$4,220

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ravensdale could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ravensdale in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
