Flights to Maylene, Alabama from NT$27,237

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Maylene could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Maylene a piece of cake. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
