Flights to Hoxie, Kansas from NT$35,300

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

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and take a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hoxie in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
