Flights to Traver, Fresno from NT$6,657

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Traver. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

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 suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Traver a pleasure. Read through our top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
