Flights to Waldron Island, Washington from NT$19,351

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Waldron Island. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Waldron Island, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
