Flights to Theodosia, Missouri from NT$9,588

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Theodosia vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Theodosia easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
