Flights to Twisteden, Kevelaer from NT$5,836

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Twisteden could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Twisteden, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
