Flights to Nam Mẫu, Uong Bi from NT$4,178

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Nam Mẫu.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nam Mẫu before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
