Flights to Sajan, Vikramgadh from NT$4,176

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Sajan vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Sajan easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal 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.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often 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-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
