Flights to Valliant, Oklahoma from NT$18,408

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your vacation in Valliant. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Valliant a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
