Flights to Oak Park, Detroit from NT$6,252

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Oak Park in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Oak Park a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
