Flights to Baturetno, Special Region of Yogyakarta from NT$5,062

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Baturetno.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Baturetno, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
