Flights to Marion, Massachusetts from NT$19,008

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your vacation in Marion.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Marion, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
