Flights to Streitberg, Brachttal from NT$5,705

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in Streitberg.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Streitberg, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
