Flights to Pa Daet, Chiang Mai from NT$2,746

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pa Daet could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pa Daet in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
