Flights to Stochov, Central Bohemia Region from NT$7,435

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your vacation in Stochov. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Stochov a breeze. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
