Flights to Gschwendt, Strobl from NT$29,094

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gschwendt could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Gschwendt in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach 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 set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
