Flights to Frederic, Wisconsin from NT$8,130

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Frederic.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and bring a cardigan just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Frederic in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
