Flights to San Gregorio, California from NT$2,905

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to San Gregorio could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to San Gregorio a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
