Flights to Zhoujingxiang, Wuxi from NT$6,177

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Zhoujingxiang before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Zhoujingxiang, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often 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.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
