Flights to Mason, Greenville from NT$30,909

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mason could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cool. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Mason quick and painless. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
