Flights to Berfa, Alsfeld from NT$17,503

If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your time in Berfa.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Berfa quick and painless. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
