Flights to Kronenberg, Limburg from NT$37,449

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your time in Kronenberg. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Kronenberg a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually 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 in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
