Flights to Republican City, Nebraska from NT$18,192

If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Republican City. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Republican City in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
