Flights to Max, Minnesota from NT$56,292

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Max vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Max, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
