Flights to Neipu, Pingtung County from NT$2,886

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Neipu could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Neipu, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
