Flights to Fincken, Mecklenburg-West Pomerania from NT$3,458

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Fincken could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, 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:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Fincken, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
