Flights to Sde Yitzhak, Menashe from NT$14,567

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Sde Yitzhak.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sde Yitzhak in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
