Flights to Ha Tien, An Giang Province from NT$3,006

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Ha Tien vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ha Tien in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
