Flights to Terrell, Charlotte from NT$31,252

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Terrell.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Terrell a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• 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 faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
