Flights to Seri Manjung, Perak from NT$837

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your time in Seri Manjung.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Seri Manjung a piece of cake. We've rounded up some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. 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 minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
