Flights to Sinyang, Yesan from NT$4,351

If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your time in Sinyang.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Sinyang a breeze. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
