Flights to Winter Park, Orlando from NT$4,165

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Winter Park.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Winter Park in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, 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.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
