Flights to Pineville, Newtown from NT$16,475

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Pineville escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Pineville easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail 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 zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
