Flights to Greene, New York from NT$40,939

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Greene could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Greene, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
