Flights to Hayward, Minnesota from NT$8,108

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hayward could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Hayward a pleasure. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. 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 luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
