Flights to Chester Springs, Pennsylvania from NT$9,009

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Chester Springs could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Chester Springs before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
