Flights to Stayner, Clearview from NT$8,871

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Stayner could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Stayner, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
