Flights to Lake, Michigan from NT$35,857

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Lake vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Lake in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
