Flights to Watampone, South Sulawesi from NT$5,540

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

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Watampone in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring 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), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
