Flights to Campbell, California from NT$3,994

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Campbell could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

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

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
