Flights to Brunson, South Carolina from NT$4,346

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Brunson vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Brunson a pleasure. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
