Flights to West Bloomfield, Detroit from NT$9,439

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in West Bloomfield in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to West Bloomfield a breeze. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
