Flights to Togok, Hapcheon from NT$706

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Togok vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Togok, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
