Flights to Viani Bay, Northern Division from NT$12,565

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Viani Bay escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Viani Bay, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
