Flights to Sankt Leon-Rot, Baden-Württemberg from NT$4,110

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your time in Sankt Leon-Rot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Sankt Leon-Rot, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• 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 gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
