Flights to Queen Creek, Phoenix from NT$10,301

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Queen Creek could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Queen Creek before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
