Flights to Marine City, Michigan from NT$5,443

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Marine City vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Marine City in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
