Flights to Center Point, Texas from NT$5,398

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Center Point in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Center Point easy and painless. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
