Flights to Kampung Baru, Ajil from NT$1,157

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your time in Kampung Baru.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Kampung Baru, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
