Flights to Sempach Station, Neuenkirch from NT$2,922

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sempach Station could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sempach Station in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
