Flights to Simpson, Kansas from NT$20,026

If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your vacation in Simpson.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Simpson, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
