Flights to Liberty Hill, Texas from NT$6,187

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your time in Liberty Hill. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Liberty Hill in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. 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 allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
