Flights to Calvert, Alabama from NT$8,752

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Calvert vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and bring a jacket in case you get cold. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Calvert in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
