Flights to Dundee, Michigan from NT$4,304

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Dundee escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Dundee, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
