Flights to Blue Eye, Missouri from NT$26,974

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Blue Eye vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Blue Eye in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
