Flights to Huntington, West Virginia from NT$18,178

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Huntington before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Huntington in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
