Flights to Winkelman, Arizona from NT$21,676

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Winkelman.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Winkelman, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
