Flights to Glasford, Illinois from NT$28,422

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Glasford vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Glasford quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
