Flights to Plantation, Fort Lauderdale from NT$29,762

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Plantation escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Plantation a breeze. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. 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.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
