Flights to Jurong, Zhenjiang from NT$6,843

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Jurong vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot 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 great idea to help reduce this risk.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Jurong before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
