The trick to having a smooth and stress-free flight is to come prepared. Here are a couple of tips to keep in mind before departure:

• In all cases you'll need a form of identification. How much? This depends on where you're flying from. When booking your tickets, you are encouraged to type in the same name, gender and birth date as shown on your government-issued ID.
• Pack some extra entertainment for your long trip to Luang Prabang. If you've had enough of watching movies, give your eyes a much-needed break from all that screen time and listen to some music instead.
• Cabin temperatures are often chilly enough to give you goose bumps. Carry a sweater even if you're traveling during the summertime.

Experienced travelers have a knack for finding first or business-class fares to Luang Prabang without the eye-watering price tag. Take their lead with these useful hints:

• Flexibility isn't just a yoga thing. Leave some room to move around your travel dates so you can pick up more affordable airfares when they crop up.
• Budget airlines offer business-class seating at a fraction of the normal price. Give the full-service carriers a miss and book with one of these cheaper options.
• Bid for an upgrade. Some airlines hold online auctions that let you put down a price for a seat up the front. You may also be able to upgrade with points earned through a rewards program.
