Flights to Tonica, Illinois from NT$23,331

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Tonica could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Tonica a breeze. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, 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), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
