Flights to Noen Sa-nga, Nakhon Ratchasima Province from NT$4,103

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Noen Sa-nga vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Noen Sa-nga in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
