Flights to Rathdrum, Idaho from NT$8,718

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Rathdrum. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rathdrum before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• 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.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
