Flights to Frankfort, Michigan from NT$46,003

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Frankfort vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Frankfort in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal 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 electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
