Flights to Sutton, West Virginia from NT$40,006

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Sutton vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, 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. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Sutton a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
