Flights to Vinh Loc, Thanh Hóa Province from NT$3,468

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

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Vinh Loc easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
