Flights to Miller Place, New York from NT$6,479

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Miller Place.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Miller Place a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite 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 clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
