Flights to Webster Groves, St. Louis from NT$11,279

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Webster Groves before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Webster Groves, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
