Flights to Wugu, Shiyan from NT$6,905

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Wugu could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Wugu, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
