Flights to Roosevelt, Washington from NT$31,773

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Roosevelt could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Roosevelt, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
