Flights to Frankenblick, Thuringia from NT$9,195

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Frankenblick could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant 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 pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Frankenblick, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
