Flights to Sunrise Beach, Missouri from NT$46,552

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your getaway in Sunrise Beach.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Sunrise Beach a pleasure. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets 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.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
