Flights to Oakdale, Louisiana from NT$28,190

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Oakdale could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Oakdale in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
