Flights to Ngadisari, East Java from NT$4,600

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Ngadisari.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Ngadisari a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
