Flights to Ophelia, Virginia from NT$26,687

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Ophelia in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Ophelia a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
