Flights to Six Lakes, Michigan from NT$16,576

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Six Lakes could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Six Lakes in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often 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 luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
