Flights to Negaunee, Michigan from NT$8,991

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your vacation in Negaunee. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Negaunee a piece of cake. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
