Flights to Hartland, Wisconsin from NT$8,441

If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Hartland.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any 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 goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Hartland, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• 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 your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
