Flights to Bantul, Special Region of Yogyakarta from NT$4,380

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Bantul vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Bantul a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
