Flights to Marana, Tucson from NT$26,123

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Marana vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Marana quick and painless. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
