Flights to Sagamore Beach, Massachusetts from NT$29,952

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Sagamore Beach vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Sagamore Beach a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
