Flights to Jishou, Xiangxi from NT$5,666

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Jishou in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Jishou quick and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
