Flights to Kampung Sungai Layar, Sungai Petani from NT$985

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Kampung Sungai Layar. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

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 liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Kampung Sungai Layar a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
