Flights to Yunlong County, Dali from NT$13,206

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Yunlong County. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Yunlong County in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
