Flights to Taylorsville, Salt Lake City from NT$5,363

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

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Taylorsville a pleasure. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and headphones 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.
• Any liquids or gels, 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). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
