Flights to Norborne, Missouri from NT$27,555

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Norborne vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get cold. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Norborne, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
