Flights to Kampung Baris, Pahang from NT$2,277

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Kampung Baris. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Kampung Baris, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
