Flights to Beaver, Oregon from NT$6,149

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a pleasant start to your time in Beaver. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Beaver a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
