Flights to Sabahat, Sabah from NT$832

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Sabahat in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Sabahat quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
