Flights to Eek, Alaska from NT$339,305

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Eek could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Eek, here you come:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, 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 product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
