Flights to Pacific Junction, Iowa from NT$28,800

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Pacific Junction vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices 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, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Pacific Junction quick and painless. Here are some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
