Flights to Randsburg, California from NT$47,955

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Randsburg.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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 authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Randsburg in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
