Flights to Owosso, Michigan from NT$8,156

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Owosso. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Owosso a pleasure. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
