Flights to Lower Burrell, Pittsburgh from NT$18,280

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Lower Burrell could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

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 things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Lower Burrell a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on 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 inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
