Flights to Round Lake, New York from NT$12,197

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your time in Round Lake.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Round Lake in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• 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 things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
