Flights to Kila, Montana from NT$37,850

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Kila vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Kila, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
