Flights to Hemei, Changhua County from NT$4,422

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Hemei could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Hemei a pleasure. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, 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 phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety 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 objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
