Flights to Zhushan County, Shiyan from NT$7,944

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Zhushan County.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Zhushan County a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
