Flights to Gratis, Ohio from NT$51,269

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Gratis escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Gratis a breeze. Read through our top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
