Flights to Old Town Chur, Chur from NT$18,148

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Old Town Chur could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Old Town Chur in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
