Flights to Monroeville, Alabama from NT$14,772

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Monroeville escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take 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 flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Monroeville easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, 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.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
