Flights to Cedar City, Utah from NT$5,603

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cedar City could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Cedar City, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
