Flights to Astatula, Florida from NT$6,839

If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your vacation in Astatula.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case you get cold. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Astatula in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
