Flights to Setiu, Terengganu from NT$3,509

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Setiu vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Setiu, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
