Flights to Hume, Virginia from NT$7,086

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Hume.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hume before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
