Flights to Littlerock, California from NT$13,071

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Littlerock vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Littlerock, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be 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 clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
