Flights to Underwood, Iowa from NT$27,252

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Underwood escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Underwood in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items 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 moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
