Flights to Beringen, Mersch from NT$17,704

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Beringen could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Beringen a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
