Flights to Zhushan, Nantou County from NT$3,336

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Zhushan before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Zhushan, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
