Flights to Saline, Michigan from NT$4,296

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Saline could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Saline before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
