Flights to Loxahatchee, Florida from NT$11,081

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy hints that will get your Loxahatchee escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Loxahatchee quick and painless. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
