Flights to Ladson, South Carolina from NT$30,201

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Ladson escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and take a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Ladson, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
