Flights to Rechetsberg, Huglfing from NT$8,474

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Rechetsberg. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Rechetsberg a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
