Flights to Long Barn, California from NT$17,972

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Long Barn vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Long Barn a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
