Flights to Fair Oaks, Catoosa from NT$28,818

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Fair Oaks in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Fair Oaks in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
