Flights to Taylor, Detroit from NT$6,204

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Taylor escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and bring a pullover just in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Taylor a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
