Flights to Guan County, Liaocheng from NT$7,549

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Guan County escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Guan County easy and painless. Below are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
