Flights to Homberg, Lottum from NT$3,577

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a comfortable start to your time in Homberg. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Homberg in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? 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 baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
