Flights to Kampung Seren, Dungun from NT$1,802

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Kampung Seren. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Kampung Seren easy and painless. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
