Flights to Moundsville, West Virginia from NT$19,111

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Moundsville vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Moundsville before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
