Flights to Sewon, Special Region of Yogyakarta from NT$4,351

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Sewon vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sewon in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
