Flights to Cassadaga, Lake Helen from NT$52,043

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Cassadaga escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo 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 a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Cassadaga quick and painless. We've rounded up some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
