Flights to Liberty, North Carolina from NT$13,625

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Liberty could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Liberty a breeze. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach 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 on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all 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 shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
