Flights to Apopka, Florida from NT$7,835

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Apopka could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Apopka a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
