Flights to Biloxi, Mississippi from NT$4,809

If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Biloxi. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Biloxi a breeze. Below are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
