Flights to Ninghe County, Tianjin from NT$5,213

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Ninghe County vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Ninghe County, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
