Flights to Salalah, Dhofar Governorate from NT$8,090

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Salalah in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Salalah a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• 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 in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
