Flights to Can Tho, from NT$5,718

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Can Tho in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Can Tho a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
