Flights to Selma, Oregon from NT$6,192

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Selma before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Selma easy and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget 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 in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
