Flights to Sullivan, Indiana from NT$6,224

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Sullivan.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Sullivan easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a 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 going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
