Flights to Warrendale, Cascade Locks from NT$4,002

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Warrendale.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and bring a sweater in case you get cold. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Warrendale in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
