Flights to Lecoma, Rolla from NT$10,480

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Lecoma escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination 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 baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Lecoma, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
