Flights to Newell, South Dakota from NT$9,135

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Newell escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Newell easy and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
