Flights to Champion, Michigan from NT$26,527

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Champion could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Champion, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
