Flights to Port Chester, Rye Brook from NT$14,052

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Port Chester could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Port Chester before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, 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.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
