Flights to Eureka, Kansas from NT$28,555

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Eureka escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Eureka a piece of cake. Below are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
