Flights to Sandu County, Qiannan from NT$4,100

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Sandu County escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Sandu County a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
