Flights to Homer, New York from NT$4,898

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Homer vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Homer a piece of cake. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• 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.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
