Flights to Yachats, Oregon from NT$4,971

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Yachats in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Yachats, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
