Flights to Warren, Detroit from NT$12,604

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Warren vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Warren a breeze. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
