Flights to Cope, South Carolina from NT$6,782

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Cope could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more 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 clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Cope a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
