Flights to Aadorf, Canton of Thurgau from NT$8,560

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your time in Aadorf. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Aadorf in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
