Flights to Union Pier, Michigan from NT$23,448

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Union Pier in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Union Pier in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item 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-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
