Flights to Progress, Harrisburg from NT$33,875

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your vacation in Progress. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Progress a breeze. Below are some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
