Flights to Gary, Indiana from NT$7,949

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Gary in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Gary, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
