Flights to Lincoln, Canterbury from NT$2,850

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lincoln could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Lincoln before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
