Flights to Bang Kacha, Chanthaburi from NT$14,350

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Bang Kacha could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra 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 catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bang Kacha in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
