Flights to Bac Giang, Bac Ninh Province from NT$4,005

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your time in Bac Giang.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Bac Giang easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
