Flights to Luxembourg City, from NT$10,526

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy tips that will get your Luxembourg City vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner 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 precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Luxembourg City in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
