Flights to Highland Beach, Florida from NT$6,524

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy hints that will get your Highland Beach vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Highland Beach a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
