Flights to Foster, Kentucky from NT$28,361

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Foster vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Foster, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
