Flights to Duncan, South Carolina from NT$11,984

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Duncan could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together 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 pleasure if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Duncan easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
