Flights to Noank, Groton from NT$11,059

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Noank could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Noank in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
