Flights to Netarts, Tillamook from NT$4,089

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Netarts could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step 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 hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Netarts, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal 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.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
