Flights to Speonk, New York from NT$15,567

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Speonk could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Speonk, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
