Flights to Han Kaeo, Hang Dong from NT$2,159

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Han Kaeo could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Han Kaeo in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
