Flights to Lackawanna, Buffalo from NT$4,011

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lackawanna could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Lackawanna quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented 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 bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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 in the cabin.
