Flights to Hobe Sound, Florida from NT$30,591

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Hobe Sound vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Hobe Sound, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
