Flights to An Liệt, Thanh Ha from NT$10,950

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your time in An Liệt.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out An Liệt, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
