Flights to Emmett, Idaho from NT$18,886

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Emmett could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger 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 pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Emmett before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
