Flights to Skytop, Pennsylvania from NT$6,370

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Skytop could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial 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 airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Skytop before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
