Flights to Phelan, California from NT$8,124

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Phelan vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Phelan in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, 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-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
