Flights to Zhao County, Shijiazhuang from NT$9,054

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Zhao County could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Zhao County quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
