Flights to Goshen, Massachusetts from NT$6,175

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Goshen could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold 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. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Goshen, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
