Flights to Lauderhill, Fort Lauderdale from NT$5,002

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Lauderhill. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Lauderhill easy and painless. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
