Flights to Willowick, Cleveland from NT$8,068

If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Willowick. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Willowick, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
