Flights to Randolph, New Hampshire from NT$46,178

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your time in Randolph. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Randolph in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
