Flights to Wuxi, Jiangsu from NT$6,789

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Wuxi escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Wuxi, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
