Flights to Lammerspiel, Frankfurt from NT$21,956

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lammerspiel could be a breeze or it could go 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:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Lammerspiel before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
