Flights to Flint Hill, Virginia from NT$7,797

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Flint Hill.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple --- first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Flint Hill a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often 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 inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
