Flights to Bast, Baska Voda from NT$50,031

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bast could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Bast before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
