Flights to Glenford, Ohio from NT$5,429

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Glenford.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Glenford a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
