Flights to Springfield, Georgia from NT$35,887

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Springfield could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel 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:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Springfield in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
