Flights to Sohar, Al Batinah North Governorate from NT$5,006

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in Sohar in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sohar in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
