Flights to Cabot, Arkansas from NT$33,756

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Cabot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cabot in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. 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 devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
