Flights to Quievrain, Walloon Region from NT$5,295

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your vacation in Quievrain. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Quievrain easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
