Flights to Rimforest, California from NT$4,571

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Rimforest could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

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

• Have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
