Flights to Laveen, Arizona from NT$5,751

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Laveen escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, 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 long, narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Laveen in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
