Flights to Yahyali, Kayseri from NT$16,980

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Yahyali escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Yahyali, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. 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 inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
