Flights to Wylie, Dallas from NT$7,249

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Wylie could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, 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 number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Wylie, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
