Flights to Linton, Indiana from NT$6,908

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Linton vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Linton in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
