Flights to Rawang, Selangor from NT$1,028

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Rawang. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Rawang, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to 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 items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
