Flights to Hobscheid, Habscht from NT$11,098

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Hobscheid. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Hobscheid easy and painless. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
