Flights to Covert, Michigan from NT$7,106

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Covert vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Covert easy and painless. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
