Flights to Kenton, Delaware from NT$11,149

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Kenton escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kenton before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need 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 minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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.
