Flights to Wellesley, Boston from NT$22,361

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Wellesley could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Wellesley, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
