Flights to Oak Grove, Sterling from NT$8,020

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Oak Grove could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Oak Grove, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
