Flights to Wauconda, Illinois from NT$18,599

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Wauconda vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination 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 knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The answer is --- be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Wauconda, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
