Flights to Ranson, West Virginia from NT$7,232

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ranson could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Ranson, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
