Flights to Biola, Fresno from NT$13,478

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Biola could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Biola before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking 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.
