Flights to Lugu, Nantou County from NT$2,629

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Lugu vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Lugu, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. 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 inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
