Flights to Seal Beach, California from NT$4,613

If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your vacation in Seal Beach.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Seal Beach in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• 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 trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
