Flights to South Woodstock, Vermont from NT$16,896

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to South Woodstock could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to South Woodstock a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
