Flights to Chumi, Gongju from NT$4,288

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Chumi in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Chumi before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
