Flights to Chenggong, Taitung County from NT$4,882

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your time in Chenggong. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Chenggong in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
