Flights to Harned, Kentucky from NT$31,218

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Harned could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Harned, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
