Flights to Muir Beach, Sausalito from NT$3,086

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Muir Beach in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Muir Beach, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. 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 in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
