Flights to Patchogue, New York from NT$7,579

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Patchogue vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a pullover in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Patchogue a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers 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 likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
