Flights to Uebach-Palenberg, North Rhine-Westphalia from NT$4,417

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Uebach-Palenberg escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Uebach-Palenberg in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, 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 set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
