Flights to Bridgeport, Texas from NT$5,918

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bridgeport could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks can also help.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Bridgeport, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, 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 phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will 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 scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
