Flights to High Springs, Florida from NT$8,263

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in High Springs. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out High Springs, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often 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 inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
