Flights to Five Corners, Grayling from NT$10,415

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Five Corners could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Five Corners a breeze. Here are some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
