Flights to Kampung Cemerlang, Kuching from NT$1,875

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

• First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Kampung Cemerlang quick and painless. Below are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
