Flights to Raub, Pahang from NT$4,533

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Raub could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Raub easy and painless. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
