Flights to Fort Hancock, Texas from NT$26,062

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Fort Hancock could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Fort Hancock easy and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
