Flights to Yongtai County, Fuzhou from NT$5,629

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy hints that will get your Yongtai County escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Yongtai County a breeze. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
