Flights to Crescent City, Florida from NT$8,441

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Crescent City could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, 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 airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Crescent City, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
