Flights to Woodmere, New York from NT$30,226

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Woodmere could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Woodmere, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
