Flights to Ponorogo, East Java from NT$3,145

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Ponorogo could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ponorogo in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
