Flights to Kaltenengers, Rhineland-Palatinate from NT$24,610

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Kaltenengers.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Kaltenengers, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
