Flights to Lidice, Central Bohemia Region from NT$4,288

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Lidice escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. 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 Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Look out Lidice, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
