Flights to Gregory, Michigan from NT$11,645

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

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Gregory, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. 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 quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
