Flights to Heping County, Heyuan from NT$12,991

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Heping County escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks may also help.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Heping County in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
