Flights to Lampang, Lampang Province from NT$1,802

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Lampang vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality 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:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lampang before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
