Flights to Fort Washington, Philadelphia from NT$6,872

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Fort Washington could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fort Washington in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
