Flights to Clam Lake, Wisconsin from NT$12,823

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Clam Lake escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Clam Lake before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• 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. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
