Flights to Seagrove, North Carolina from NT$5,068

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Seagrove vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put 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. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Seagrove in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, 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.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
