Flights to Saint Jo, Texas from NT$6,243

If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your time in Saint Jo. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Saint Jo, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray 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.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
