Flights to Johnstown, Pennsylvania from NT$43,603

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Johnstown could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Johnstown a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? 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 can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
