Flights to Elliottville, Morehead from NT$17,258

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Elliottville vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Elliottville before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
