Flights to Yverdon-les-Bains, Canton of Vaud from NT$3,471

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Yverdon-les-Bains.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Yverdon-les-Bains, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
