Flights to Robins Bay, Saint Mary from NT$17,578

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Robins Bay vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Robins Bay, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
