Flights to Tabb, Yorktown from NT$31,523

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Tabb escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Tabb in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• 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. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
