Flights to Picayune, Mississippi from NT$38,740

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your time in Picayune. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, 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 in the cabin by layering up, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Picayune quick and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? 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 in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
