Flights to Hampton, South Carolina from NT$8,093

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and enjoying Hampton before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Hampton in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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 single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
