Flights to Chedu, Boseong from NT$22,061

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Chedu could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Chedu a piece of cake. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
