Flights to Brooker, Florida from NT$31,371

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Brooker escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Brooker, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, 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.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
