Flights to West, Texas from NT$69,934

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

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to West a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
