Flights to Kampung Terusan, Pasir Mas from NT$1,498

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kampung Terusan could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Kampung Terusan a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
