Flights to Yulin, Guangxi from NT$12,365

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Yulin could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks can also help.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Yulin, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's 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 electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
