Flights to Bà Khet, Tinh Bien from NT$5,055

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your time in Bà Khet. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Bà Khet easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. 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 inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
