Flights to Winton, Leavenworth from NT$29,945

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Winton before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Winton in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
