Flights to Duc Hue, Tay Ninh Province from NT$2,993

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Duc Hue escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Duc Hue a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne? 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 fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
