Flights to Newport, Michigan from NT$5,200

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Newport in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks may also help.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Newport a piece of cake. We've rounded up some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, 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), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
