Flights to Angkor Borei, Takeo from NT$5,420

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Angkor Borei escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Angkor Borei a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
