Flights to Garnerville, New York from NT$22,600

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Garnerville. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Garnerville a piece of cake. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
