Flights to Broadway, Virginia from NT$56,073

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Broadway escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Broadway easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
