Flights to Jieyang, Guangdong from NT$5,400

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Jieyang could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Jieyang a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear 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. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
