Flights to El Dorado, California from NT$3,624

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering El Dorado in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to El Dorado in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside 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 sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
