Flights to Cileungsi, West Java from NT$5,398

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Cileungsi escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• 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 foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Cileungsi in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? 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-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
