Flights to Yaiza, Lanzarote from NT$49,422

If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Yaiza.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner 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. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Yaiza in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
