Flights to Mayer, Arizona from NT$26,799

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Mayer escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Mayer easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
