Flights to Cross River, New York from NT$10,276

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Cross River vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, 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. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Cross River a pleasure. We've compiled some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
