Flights to Saint Leo, Florida from NT$6,654

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Saint Leo.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Saint Leo easy and painless. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
