Flights to Sarenga, Khatra from NT$2,706

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sarenga could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged 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 promote better circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Sarenga a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
