Flights to Na Mueang, Koh Samui from NT$8,420

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Na Mueang could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

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 or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Na Mueang quick and painless. Here are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
