Flights to Fort Lee, Virginia from NT$8,274

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Fort Lee in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols 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 aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Fort Lee a breeze. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
