Flights to Trilby, Dade City from NT$8,312

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Trilby vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Trilby a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
