Flights to Wonosobo, Central Java from NT$7,355

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Wonosobo escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Wonosobo in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy 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 objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
