Flights to Coquille, Oregon from NT$66,189

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Coquille. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Coquille a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
