Flights to Sherwood, Arkansas from NT$47,503

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your vacation in Sherwood.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a jacket just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sherwood in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
