Flights to Nam Yun, Ubon Ratchathani Province from NT$13,740

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Nam Yun could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of 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 improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Nam Yun a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
