Flights to Dollinger, Tarrenz from NT$39,309

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your vacation in Dollinger. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Dollinger, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• 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.
