Flights to Crystal Springs, Mississippi from NT$20,248

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Crystal Springs could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Crystal Springs in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your coat, 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 it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
