Flights to Piney Creek, North Carolina from NT$13,570

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Piney Creek.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a cardigan just in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Piney Creek, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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 in the cabin.
