Flights to South Tangerang, Jakarta from NT$5,948

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to South Tangerang could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The 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 and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to South Tangerang in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater 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 several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
