Flights to Fairhope, Alabama from NT$33,439

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Fairhope vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Fairhope, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
