Flights to Sigye, Dangjin from NT$4,256

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Sigye. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sigye in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
