Flights to Samnaun, Graubünden from NT$3,829

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Samnaun.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Samnaun a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
