Flights to Shoresh, Mateh Yehuda from NT$13,578

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Shoresh escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Shoresh, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• 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. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), 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 in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
