Flights to Appleton, Union from NT$27,124

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Appleton could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Appleton in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
