Flights to Colville, Washington from NT$4,398

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Colville vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Colville, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
