Flights to Ash Fork, Arizona from NT$45,346

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ash Fork could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Ash Fork a breeze. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
