Flights to Oark, Arkansas from NT$8,460

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Oark.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Oark, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
