Flights to Zamardi, Somogy County from NT$3,739

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Zamardi vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Zamardi a breeze. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
