Flights to Sandy Creek, New York from NT$23,206

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sandy Creek could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Sandy Creek easy and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
