Flights to Peconic, New York from NT$8,118

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Peconic escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Peconic easy and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
