Flights to Sugar Grove, North Carolina from NT$56,957

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will get your Sugar Grove vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sugar Grove in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
