Flights to Yates Center, Kansas from NT$26,285

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Yates Center vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Yates Center a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
