Flights to Chotyne, Liberec Region from NT$10,383

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Chotyne.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Chotyne a piece of cake. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things 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 technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
