Flights to Arcade, New York from NT$4,915

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Arcade escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Arcade, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the 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 electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• 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.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
