Flights to Yunhancun, Zhongshan from NT$7,518

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Yunhancun vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Yunhancun a pleasure. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on 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 single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
