Flights to Ashby, Front Royal from NT$21,061

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Ashby vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ashby in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
