Flights to Shidler, Oklahoma from NT$31,827

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Shidler could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Shidler, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
