Flights to Arkansas City, Kansas from NT$46,695

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Arkansas City could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Arkansas City in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things 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 minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
