Flights to Days Creek, Oregon from NT$6,499

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Days Creek escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Days Creek, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a 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 good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
