Flights to Woodland, North Carolina from NT$7,019

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Woodland before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Woodland a piece of cake. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
