Flights to Cupertino, California from NT$17,365

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cupertino could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cupertino before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
