Flights to Donghai County, Lianyungang from NT$9,405

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Donghai County could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Donghai County in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
