Flights to Pingwu County, Mianyang from NT$8,500

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Pingwu County in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pingwu County before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
