Flights to Navarre, Ohio from NT$12,900

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your time in Navarre. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Navarre a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
