Flights to South Providence, Providence from NT$32,295

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a pleasant start to your getaway in South Providence.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to South Providence in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring 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), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible 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 or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
