Flights to North Haven, Sag Harbor from NT$30,244

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to North Haven could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out North Haven, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
