Flights to Krapyak, Semarang from NT$5,090

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Krapyak vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and take a cardigan in case it gets cool. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Krapyak before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
