Flights to Steens Bridge, Leominster from NT$4,255

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Steens Bridge.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Steens Bridge, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• 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-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
