Flights to Orleans, Indiana from NT$6,399

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Orleans could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Orleans, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
