Flights to King City, California from NT$35,553

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your King City vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

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 in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out King City, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand 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 can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
