Flights to Missouri City, Houston from NT$4,437

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

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Missouri City in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
