Flights to Siswan, Kharar from NT$10,536

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Siswan vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Siswan, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
