Flights to Si Sunthon, Phuket Province from NT$2,038

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Si Sunthon could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Si Sunthon quick and painless. Check out our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
