Flights to Wilton, New Hampshire from NT$19,886

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Wilton.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Wilton, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
