Flights to Gerokgak, Bali from NT$3,206

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gerokgak could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, 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 an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Gerokgak, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail 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 luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
