Flights to Sayaboury, Sainyabuli Province from NT$6,586

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Sayaboury in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks may also help.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sayaboury in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
