Flights to Churae, Yesan from NT$4,214

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Churae could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

The secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Churae in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need 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 have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked 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 or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
