Flights to Pomeroy, Washington from NT$31,142

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your time in Pomeroy. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Pomeroy a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
