Flights to Cave Creek, Phoenix from NT$4,666

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Cave Creek in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cave Creek in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
