Flights to Bernardston, Massachusetts from NT$6,051

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Bernardston vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Bernardston, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
