Flights to Burney, California from NT$9,052

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Burney vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Burney, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
