Flights to Gnutz, Schleswig-Holstein from NT$7,803

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Gnutz in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Gnutz, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
