Flights to Mueang Pan, Lampang Province from NT$2,968

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mueang Pan could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach 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 narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Mueang Pan, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
