Flights to Bridgeport, Alabama from NT$9,233

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Bridgeport escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bridgeport in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
