Flights to Lugu, Nantou County from NT$2,380

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lugu could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Lugu a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
