Flights to White Lake, New York from NT$6,479

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of White Lake before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to White Lake quick and painless. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
