Flights to Morton, Mississippi from NT$47,420

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Morton escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Morton in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand 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-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
