Flights to Lillian, Alabama from NT$59,346

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Lillian in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Lillian quick and painless. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take 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-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
