Flights to Parit Raja, Batu Pahat from NT$1,332

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Parit Raja.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Parit Raja a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
