Flights to Kampung Tok Gagap, Batu Kurau from NT$869

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kampung Tok Gagap could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Kampung Tok Gagap easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your ID and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, 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.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
