Flights to Fennimore, Wisconsin from NT$8,020

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

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, 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 reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fennimore in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
