Flights to Ky Anh, Ha Tinh Province from NT$8,031

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Ky Anh. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols 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:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged 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 promote better circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ky Anh before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
