Flights to Saarburg, Rhineland-Palatinate from NT$4,338

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Saarburg vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Saarburg a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
