Flights to Ban Khau Dua, Dinh Hoa from NT$6,506

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your time in Ban Khau Dua. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids 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. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Ban Khau Dua a breeze. Read through our top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
