Flights to Holzhau, Rechenberg-Bienenmuehle from NT$29,005

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Holzhau before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Holzhau before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
