Flights to Calera, Oklahoma from NT$11,230

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Calera vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Calera in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
