Flights to Traben-Trarbach, Rhineland-Palatinate from NT$16,673

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Traben-Trarbach could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready 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 baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Traben-Trarbach, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
