Flights to Medora, North Dakota from NT$12,564

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Medora before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Medora, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport 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. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
