Flights to Unterseen, Canton of Bern from NT$8,970

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Unterseen escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Unterseen a pleasure. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, 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), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
