Flights to Woods Cross, Salt Lake City from NT$9,358

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Woods Cross could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Woods Cross in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Have your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
