Flights to Nong Pla Lai, Saraburi from NT$2,970

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Nong Pla Lai escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nong Pla Lai in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
