Flights to Dell Rapids, South Dakota from NT$15,477

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Dell Rapids could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Dell Rapids, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
