Flights to Husum, White Salmon from NT$3,743

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your time in Husum. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Husum quick and painless. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
