Flights to Yucca Valley, California from NT$13,078

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Yucca Valley vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Yucca Valley a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
