Flights to Heaker, Houston from NT$5,549

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Heaker in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Heaker in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to 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 coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater 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.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
