Flights to Tygh Valley, Oregon from NT$5,589

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Tygh Valley escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Tygh Valley quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
