Flights to Roper, North Carolina from NT$12,252

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Roper in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Roper in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
