Flights to Huntington Beach, California from NT$15,324

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Huntington Beach escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Huntington Beach, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
