Flights to Estero, Florida from NT$8,853

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Estero in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Estero, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
