Flights to Muara, Brunei-Muara from NT$5,016

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your time in Muara.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Muara a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be 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 good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
