Flights to Kaukauna, Wisconsin from NT$31,500

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

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kaukauna in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off 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.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
