Flights to Kampung Jalan Paku, Bidor from NT$3,060

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy hints that will get your Kampung Jalan Paku vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Kampung Jalan Paku a pleasure. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
