Flights to Gatesville, North Carolina from NT$4,002

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gatesville could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple --- first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Gatesville quick and painless. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
