Flights to Bellville, Ohio from NT$7,152

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a pleasant start to your vacation in Bellville. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

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

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, 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 arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
