Flights to Non Tan, Tha Uthen from NT$1,340

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Non Tan could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Non Tan a breeze. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
