Flights to Burt, New York from NT$4,701

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Burt before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Burt quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
