Flights to Scholis, Bad Schmiedeberg from NT$20,462

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your getaway in Scholis. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Scholis quick and painless. Check out our handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
