Flights to Forest Falls, California from NT$9,705

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your time in Forest Falls. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

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 wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Look out Forest Falls, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
