Flights to Round O, South Carolina from NT$9,478

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Round O escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray 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 beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Round O, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. 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.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
