Flights to Szár, Fejer from NT$4,041

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Szár vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Szár in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
