Flights to Tipton, Kansas from NT$19,997

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Tipton escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tipton in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
