Flights to York, Illinois from NT$9,440

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your York vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to York in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
