Flights to Belleair, St. Petersburg - Clearwater from NT$6,202

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Belleair. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Belleair a pleasure. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, 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, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
