Flights to Weymouth, Boston from NT$30,014

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Weymouth. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Weymouth, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
