Flights to Danielson, Connecticut from NT$33,888

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Danielson vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Danielson in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray 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-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
