Flights to Otego, New York from NT$5,548

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Otego vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Otego a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? 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, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
