Flights to Fox, Arkansas from NT$6,280

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your getaway in Fox.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Fox, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
