Flights to Ehrenstein, Blaustein from NT$9,652

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Ehrenstein. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ehrenstein before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. 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're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• 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 in the cabin.
