Flights to Warmbad, Wolkenstein from NT$15,257

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Warmbad.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Warmbad in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on 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 inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
