Flights to Ashby, Nebraska from NT$24,827

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ashby could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Ashby, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
