Flights to Nieder-Olm, Rhineland-Palatinate from NT$17,503

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Nieder-Olm.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Nieder-Olm quick and painless. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
