Flights to Nuevo, California from NT$17,397

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Nuevo vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Nuevo a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• 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 on board.
