Flights to Huai Raeng, Trat from NT$3,095

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Huai Raeng could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Huai Raeng, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
