Flights to Big Cabin, Oklahoma from NT$12,268

If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your getaway in Big Cabin.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Big Cabin, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
