Flights to Clinton, Illinois from NT$13,220

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Clinton in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Clinton easy and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• 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 the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. 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-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
