Flights to Shelby, North Carolina from NT$8,797

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Shelby could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Shelby in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
