Flights to Linville, North Carolina from NT$35,707

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Linville vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Linville, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
