Flights to Lichtmis, Rouveen from NT$5,651

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lichtmis could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Lichtmis, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
