Flights to Bainbridge, Ohio from NT$8,136

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your vacation in Bainbridge.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Bainbridge, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
