Flights to Linden, Virginia from NT$13,356

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Linden vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Linden a pleasure. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices 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 before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
