Flights to Cinangka, Banten from NT$5,931

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Cinangka escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

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 zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Cinangka, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
