Flights to Beverly Shores, Michigan City from NT$5,147

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy hints that will get your Beverly Shores vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Beverly Shores in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
