Flights to Indian Springs, Nevada from NT$2,307

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Indian Springs escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Indian Springs in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
