Flights to Hartford, Kansas from NT$70,642

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Hartford escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Hartford a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
