Flights to Gwynn, Virginia from NT$11,918

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gwynn could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, 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 aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Gwynn in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
