Flights to East Providence, Rhode Island from NT$7,474

If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in East Providence.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling 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 rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple --- be organized. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out East Providence, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
