Flights to Laguna Woods, California from NT$12,866

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Laguna Woods vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Laguna Woods in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart 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 in the cabin.
