Flights to Singlewell, Gravesend from NT$4,184

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Singlewell escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, 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.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Singlewell quick and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
