Flights to Bondville, Vermont from NT$6,805

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Bondville. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, 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 banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bondville in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring 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-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
