Flights to Kirn, Rhineland-Palatinate from NT$4,353

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kirn could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Kirn quick and painless. Here are some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater 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 luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
