Flights to Terre Hill, Pennsylvania from NT$38,600

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Terre Hill escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Terre Hill in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
