Flights to Clarkfield, Minnesota from NT$39,232

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Clarkfield escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Clarkfield in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
