Flights to Kampung Jerong, Sungai Petani from NT$961

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Kampung Jerong.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Kampung Jerong, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
