Flights to Deer Park, New York from NT$26,487

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Deer Park could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Deer Park easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
