Flights to Brigels, Graubünden from NT$21,018

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Brigels.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Brigels easy and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
