Flights to Converse, San Antonio from NT$10,104

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Converse before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Converse easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
