Flights to Lutschental, Canton of Bern from NT$13,087

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your time in Lutschental.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Lutschental a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
