Flights to Proctor, Arkansas from NT$12,015

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Proctor vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Proctor, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
