Flights to Siren, Wisconsin from NT$6,175

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Siren could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Siren in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
