Flights to Chuluota, Florida from NT$3,676

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your time in Chuluota. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Chuluota in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your ID 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 contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
