Flights to Sandwich, Massachusetts from NT$5,781

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sandwich could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze 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 authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Sandwich quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. 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. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along 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-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
