Flights to Mirotice, South Bohemia Region from NT$5,830

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Mirotice vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, credit 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 good options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and bring a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Mirotice a piece of cake. Below are some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
