Flights to Greensboro, Quincy from NT$31,461

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Greensboro could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Greensboro, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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 inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
