Flights to Dirang, West Kameng from NT$5,918

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Dirang could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Dirang, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
