Flights to Nancy, Kentucky from NT$29,199

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Nancy could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Nancy in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
