Flights to Levelock, Alaska from NT$46,885

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Levelock vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

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

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
