Flights to Weston, Sabah from NT$3,086

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Weston vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from 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.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Weston easy and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
