Flights to Wahoo, Nebraska from NT$18,575

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your time in Wahoo. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Wahoo in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
