Flights to Geneseo, Illinois from NT$28,410

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Geneseo could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Geneseo in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
