Flights to Fehrenbach, Masserberg from NT$9,195

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your time in Fehrenbach.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Fehrenbach, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
