Flights to Brenham, Texas from NT$6,472

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Brenham.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Brenham, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? 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 zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
