Flights to Coopertown, Florida from NT$8,734

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Coopertown vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Coopertown, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
