Flights to Woodbridge, Virginia from NT$8,919

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your time in Woodbridge.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Woodbridge, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
