Flights to Akron, Colorado from NT$4,295

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Akron vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable 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 should always be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Akron in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
