Flights to Warden, Washington from NT$6,858

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Warden vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Warden a breeze. Below you'll find some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
