Flights to Elizabeth, Pittsburgh from NT$5,908

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Elizabeth could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Elizabeth a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
