Flights to Saint Hedwig, Texas from NT$13,050

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Saint Hedwig vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cool. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

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

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
