Flights to Hostivice, Prague from NT$4,731

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Hostivice in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hostivice in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
