Flights to Ethan, South Dakota from NT$56,720

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ethan could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ethan in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product 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-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
