Flights to Kuhschnappel, Sankt Egidien from NT$6,512

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your time in Kuhschnappel.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase 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, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Kuhschnappel easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several 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 the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
