Flights to Sun City Center, Tampa from NT$6,488

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Sun City Center escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans 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 your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sun City Center before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
