Flights to Pfafflar, Tyrol from NT$29,325

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Pfafflar vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pfafflar before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
