Flights to Spring Bluff, Waverly from NT$56,163

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Spring Bluff could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

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 compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Spring Bluff in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
