Flights to Fenyuan, Changhua County from NT$4,377

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Fenyuan could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fenyuan in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
