Flights to Cisarua, West Java from NT$5,660

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

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Cisarua easy and painless. Here are some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
