Flights to Fuli, Hualien County from NT$4,740

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Fuli vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Fuli a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
