Flights to Giap My, Hung Nguyen from NT$4,423

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Giap My could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Giap My quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
