Flights to Mill Spring, North Carolina from NT$6,021

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your time in Mill Spring. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Mill Spring a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
