Flights to Solon Springs, Wisconsin from NT$20,089

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Solon Springs could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

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. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Solon Springs before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
