Flights to Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi Province from NT$5,182

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bang Bua Thong could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily 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 always good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Bang Bua Thong before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
