Flights to Map Ta Phut, Rayong from NT$9,964

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Map Ta Phut could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Map Ta Phut in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
