Flights to Chandler, Texas from NT$16,548

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Chandler could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase 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 aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Chandler a breeze. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
