Flights to Tiaong, Calabarzon from NT$3,019

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Tiaong.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Tiaong, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
