Flights to Powers, Oregon from NT$4,401

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Powers could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. 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 trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Powers, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
