Flights to Wulian County, Rizhao from NT$3,572

If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Wulian County.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy --- first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Wulian County a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
