Flights to Yunxiao County, Zhangzhou from NT$8,167

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Yunxiao County could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put 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 by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Yunxiao County in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
