Flights to Horn, Canton of Thurgau from NT$8,294

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Horn vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Horn, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
