Flights to Goldsboro, North Carolina from NT$4,033

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Goldsboro.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Goldsboro in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
