Flights to Grace, Idaho from NT$45,811

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a pain-free start to your time in Grace. 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, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Grace a pleasure. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
