Flights to Bellwald, Valais from NT$20,504

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Bellwald vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Bellwald, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, 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), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
