Flights to Ia Grai, Gia Lai Province from NT$3,431

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ia Grai could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ia Grai in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container 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 great 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 extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
