Flights to Conway, Massachusetts from NT$6,787

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Conway escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Conway in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
