Flights to Bujili, Chizhou from NT$7,565

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Bujili escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bujili in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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.
