If you’re poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there’s no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Tainan.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It’s simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don’t have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It’s simple — be prepared. We’ve pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Tainan, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
