Flights to Taman Rapat Damai, Ipoh from NT$2,888

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Taman Rapat Damai could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Taman Rapat Damai in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. 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 luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
