Flights to Sperryville, Virginia from NT$6,285

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sperryville could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Sperryville quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear 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. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
