Flights to Purlear, North Carolina from NT$14,374

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Purlear escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Purlear a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
