Flights to Nevada City, California from NT$2,859

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Nevada City in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane 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 baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Nevada City, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container 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 baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
