Flights to Tustin, Michigan from NT$18,275

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Tustin.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Tustin easy and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
