Flights to Kut Don, Huai Mek from NT$1,796

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Kut Don in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Kut Don, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
