Flights to Chicago Park, Grass Valley from NT$3,907

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Chicago Park vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Chicago Park a pleasure. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
