Flights to Cherating, Pahang from NT$5,229

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Cherating could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cherating in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
