Flights to Cannon Beach, Oregon from NT$4,082

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Cannon Beach vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cannon Beach in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Keep your passport and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring 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-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
