Flights to Cedar Hill, Dallas from NT$6,917

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cedar Hill could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully 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 substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Cedar Hill a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
