Flights to Lenz, Lantsch-Lenz from NT$7,685

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Lenz escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Lenz before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? 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, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
