Flights to Rollingstone, Minnesota from NT$67,185

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Rollingstone.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and bring a pullover in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Rollingstone easy and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product 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 several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight 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, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
