Flights to Muerzhofen, Kindberg from NT$27,777

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Muerzhofen could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Muerzhofen in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new 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 bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
