Flights to Westwind, Nassau from NT$49,063

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Westwind could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Westwind in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
