Flights to Silver Hill Gap, Saint Andrew from NT$93,424

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Silver Hill Gap vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

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 or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Silver Hill Gap in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
