Flights to Xizhou, Changhua County from NT$5,646

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and enjoying Xizhou in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Xizhou, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
