Flights to Woodland Estates, Ogden from NT$5,512

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Woodland Estates.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Woodland Estates in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
