Flights to Downey, Idaho from NT$62,940

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Downey could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Downey in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
