Flights to Fort Worth, from NT$6,558

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Fort Worth in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fort Worth in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
