Flights to Brier, Seattle from NT$6,225

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and enjoying Brier in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy 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:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Brier, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
