Flights to Garfield Heights, Cleveland from NT$14,638

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Garfield Heights vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Garfield Heights quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
