Flights to Smarden, Ashford from NT$3,262

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Smarden could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget 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 pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Smarden in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
