Flights to Meta, Missouri from NT$26,556

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Meta vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Meta in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
