Flights to Atoka, Oklahoma from NT$26,558

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Atoka could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Atoka in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
