Flights to Rueili Village, Meishan from NT$2,023

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Rueili Village in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial 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 shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Rueili Village in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, 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 minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
