Flights to Weatherby, Missouri from NT$6,347

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Weatherby vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Weatherby a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
