Flights to Paiton, East Java from NT$4,280

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Paiton could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Paiton quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
