Flights to West Portsmouth, Ohio from NT$8,187

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring West Portsmouth in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to West Portsmouth in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good 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, check them in.
