Flights to Otis, Massachusetts from NT$16,060

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Otis could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition known as 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. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Otis in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
