Flights to Myakka City, Florida from NT$33,816

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your time in Myakka City.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Myakka City a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
