Flights to Juneau, Wisconsin from NT$15,161

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Juneau escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Juneau in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
