Flights to Rocky Grove, Cosby from NT$32,967

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Rocky Grove.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rocky Grove in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? No 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, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
