Flights to Sisterna, Ibias from NT$77,563

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Sisterna escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Sisterna a breeze. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
