Flights to Nohn, Rhineland-Palatinate from NT$27,047

If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Nohn.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Nohn, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
