Flights to Tinnum, Sylt from NT$23,008

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Tinnum in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tinnum before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
